it's not really about that second. actually, i dont mind losing some 5 minutes even from the "current" month. my goal is to have log files that end at a certain period. e.g. an archived log file of march that doesn't contain april entries (from the "future"), although it's all right if it contains a couple of stray entries from february (the casualties of log rotation). now i have logfiles named after the current month containing all the entries from the previous month. getting the name of the previous month from the current month is another can of worms i dont want to open. -f -- careful planning will never replace dumb luck.
